The Retirement Thread

@Mo1959 thank you for your support. I shouldn't have got involved but sometimes ill informed and rude remarks get my goat. I'll try to step back now.

Morning. Misty start here, but it is supposed to be 17 deg here today. Woohooo. Stay safe out there folks. X

Mornin' all.
Filled in the registration form to become an NHS Volunteer last night. Wonder how long it will take to process if they've got anywhere near their 250k target.

Morning all fellow virus dodgers.
A lovely sunny start to the day here and the forecast is good for the next day or so.
Out with the dog shortly for another solitary walk, it is easy to keep the required distance apart, even later on in the day as there is so much space across the fields.
I may have to go to the local grocers to get some fresh produce, so I will combine this with a ride out. All boxes ticked, and then back to the gardening.

good morning people, a bright and sunny morning again, I've got a line full of washing out, plus the clothes horse is full.

I have risen!

Muttley walked. Very quiet out there. The message is perhaps finally sinking in.

I can't bite my tongue. Lol. Cheeky beggar! Him I mean not you.

Wee bit dull and murky but very mild. Few spits and spots that didn’t come to much.

Morning all
Off for a Boris Ride later.

I could make a rude remark but I will refrain.

Morning all, bright and sunny here, yesterday I spent most of the day sorting out all my screw pots and still have a way to go before that job is finished. I am determined to clear as much unneeded stuff out over the lockdown, question, how small does a piece of wood need to be before it will not come in handy at a later date?

Only problem with having clear outs at the moment is the recycling centres seem to be closing. Ours is now shut.

Good morning. We've had a light frost and now have a beautiful day dawning.

Our milk lady delivered before 5.15, it's usually 6.30. Wondering what that means? I know folk in the village have been asking for her number.

First lockdown ride at 9.30 - all a bit weird. I've been looking for an old cycling jersey to wear but remember now I binned them all. Found an old winter jacket so that will have to do. I'm not wearing club kit till this is all done.

As soon as we have enough daylight I'll get a second coat of emulsion on in the kitchen. Hopefully before I ride.

Dulux Diamond is the stuff to use, one coat and an amazing finish, not I hasten to add from a retail warehouse though.

Plenty of room to store it before it needs to go, some of it might even come back into being useful.

Never tried that one, thanks for the tip. I use MacPherson's trade when I buy from our local paint shop, always my preferred choice, or Valspar if I have to buy from B&Q. Big fan of Farrow and Ball but have only rarely used them. I once painted fully fitted pine bedroom wardrobes (very 70s) with their Estate Eggshell with great results and a finish which is still good today and know sign of damage/wear despite constant use.
